Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs every 97,500 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2023 Camaro sits at the tail end of a clear downward trend in complaints and recalls across the sixth-generation (2016–2023). With only 15 complaints and zero recalls, it is the best-performing year in the entire dataset—far better than the 2010 peak of 295 complaints and 3 recalls, and even better than the already low 2022 model (13 complaints, 1 recall). The top complaint areas (Engine, Air Bags, Fuel/Propulsion) are minor in volume, and the 4 crash complaints are not accompanied by any fire incidents or investigations. This low-problem, recall-free record suggests that by 2023, Chevrolet had fully matured the platform and resolved earlier issues. **Takeaway: The 2023 Camaro is an excellent year to buy, offering the lowest reported complaints and zero recalls in the model’s modern history, making it a strong choice for a used purchase.**
